The Burning Bush

Earth is crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
But only he who sees
Takes off his shoes -
The rest sit around it and pluck blackberries.
- Emily Dickinson

  1. And those who were seen dancing,
    We're thought to be insane,
    By those who couldn't hear the music.

  2. You are right, Steve. And yet, the whole intimate dance that God has initiated with us through Jesus living in flesh with us, is a lot more the point than some of the outward activities we spend our energies on.
